My brother from Ojo, Femi Davies was elected into the House of Representatives on the platform of AD but defected to PDP barely a year after and that was the end politically.
Have I tried?

He resurfaced again in 2019 as a Commissioner in the cabinet of Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Saka Shenayon is still an APC Chieftain in Badagry; Eniola Fadayomi went back to private practice while Mumuni Adio is late while Abiola Johnson went back to private practice.
